As the messenger translated the Ninth Prince's words for Prince Tian, he inwardly complained that their eldest prince definitely didn't have that kind of luck.
If their eldest prince were lucky, how could his first meal with the emperor after arriving in the Great Zhou have turned out like that!
"These rules are quite interesting!" Prince Tian Tian stroked his chin after hearing the messenger's translation. "Ninth Prince, may I ask which prince from your country is participating?"
"Of course it's me! My fifth brother is getting old, and I'm about the same age as you, so Father Emperor sent me to participate. But let me tell you, I never thought about winning first place or anything. Even if I get a bye in every round, I probably still can't beat the last person. So, I sincerely hope that this bye opportunity belongs to you, Prince Tiantian. I can't help it, I just felt a strong connection with you the first time I met you!" The Ninth Prince's sincere expression, like that of a naive and innocent boy, almost made Prince Tiantian believe him.
Fortunately, Prince Tiantian was not a fool. Could someone so naive and ignorant be the one sent to entertain these envoys and maintain relations?
Moreover, he initially thought Gu Xin was quite naive and innocent, but it turned out she wasn't!
“Ninth Prince, when I first met you, I felt a great sense of kinship with you. If you were a girl, I doubt I would have fallen for Princess Xin Xin.” The eldest prince, Tian Tian, spoke with utmost sincerity.
The Ninth Prince was taken aback.
Goodness, what I said was disgusting enough, but you're even more disgusting than me?
Sister Xin is truly acting on behalf of heaven to punish you!
After only a moment of surprise, the Ninth Prince snapped out of it and grabbed the hand of the eldest prince, Tian Tian: "Brother Tian, if you were a princess, I would ask Father to grant us a marriage! I'm still unmarried!"
Come on, let's see who can disgust whom to death.
The messenger, who was standing next to him, was having trouble translating. He had heard people at the Ministry of Rites talking about Princess Xinxin solving a case. Wasn't one of the cases just a case of jealousy and rivalry between men?
The messenger felt goosebumps all over his body in the sweltering July heat.
However, he still did a good job translating for Prince Tian Tian.
Just as Prince Tian was wondering why the Ninth Prince was suddenly so enthusiastic, he instinctively tried to pull his hand away, but the Ninth Prince grabbed it: "Brother Tian, come, let me invite you to my residence. We really feel like we've known each other for ages! My residence has fine wine and delicacies, and if you like beautiful women, I have those too, both men and women!"
The messenger's eyes widened in surprise. Was the Ninth Prince serious?
Although our eldest prince is quite handsome, he is a man. Ninth Prince, wake up! Although you don't have to inherit the throne, you are still a member of the royal family and have to carry on the family line. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the emperor for this?
The Ninth Prince frowned and turned to the messenger: "What's wrong with you? Quickly tell your eldest prince to tell my brother Tian that I've invited him to my residence!"
Prince Tiantian could tell from the messenger's expression that the Ninth Prince hadn't said anything nice, and wanted the messenger to stop talking. But, but there were also people on the Ninth Prince's side who could understand their Dongzhe language!
The messenger reluctantly translated for Prince Tian Tian.
Prince Tian's inner thoughts: "!"
Prince Tian Tian's demeanor was as gentle as a spring breeze: "Thank you for the invitation, Ninth Prince. However, I really cannot make it today, as I have already arranged to meet Princess Long Zhu'er."
